Sam and Mark

Pop Idols, CBBC legends and authors, Sam and Mark got thousands more children reading for fun during the 2016 Hay Festival with the lure of a visit by the stars to one winning Read for Good school.

“The element of competition, the fact that you can read anything – including us – and because the money you raise helps other children, as well as buying books for your own school: that’s at least four great reasons to run Readathon.”
